We owe oldest Americans an apology
Well, don’t mistake me. I don’t mean this to sound like I dislike old people or something. I read this article and can’t help but feel like we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one.
It seems like every time I read a new article or go to a news site… I should feel bad about a new thing and a new group of people who are offended. I should apologize for something I didn’t know I was doing. Every time i turn around, I’ve offended someone and should fix it. I think that I’m starting to get the attitude of… I just don’t give a damn if you’re offended. I mean, if you’re upset or pissed about something happening in the world… why should I give a damn? Get over it. :)

I’m sick and tired of hearing “no time” as an excuse for why you can’t be great. It really doesn’t take that much time to get started, but it does take wanting it really bad. Most people just doesn’t want it bad enough and protect their ego with the excuse of time.
This excuse is particularly depressing when it comes from students. Oh, I have so many classes. Oh, I have so much home work. There’s simply no time to learn outside of school. Then you’re doing it wrong!
Never let your schooling interfere with your education, someone clever once said. Being willing to sacrifice at the edges is one of the most important skills you’ll ever learn.
I’ve received plenty of Bs and even Cs for classes that I was incredibly proud of because they came from hardly no time spent at all. Time that I could then spend on reading my own curriculum, starting my own projects, and running my own businesses.

Apple Eliminates Plastic Bags.
This is stupid. Why not switch to some awesomely, uniquely Apple paper bag? They’ll hold on to your shit or carry it to your car? That’s just stupid.
Cool Flash Tricks!
Alright, so you’ve gotta print out this PDF, but for a nerd like myself trust me when I say this… it’s worth it!
This is a pretty cool example of what Flash is capable of.
Circuit City Closes Down After 60 Years.
Does anyone really care? I always hated going to Circuit City. It always sucked ass. Even before the internet, Best Buy was always the better choice than Circuit City. Good riddance.
Nutbag's Publicist Quits!
I have to be honest here: I haven’t been this entertained by a complete disaster since McCain/Palin.
I feel like this lady needs to be locked up for being completely irresponsible with human life. It seems like if I can be arrested for driving drunk (regardless if I get into a wreck or not), why doesn’t she have any consequences for her actions? 14 kids? You’re telling me she isn’t endangering any of them? She’s obviously completely insane.
